Kris Srikkanth and Rohit Sharma (Image Credit- Twitter X) This is the third time under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy that the Indian cricket team has reached the finals of ICC tournaments.

Srikanth compared Rohit to Kapil Let us tell you that in a discussion with Star Sports before India’s match against South Africa, Srikkanth said – I do not like to compare cricket eras and captains, but I have brought for you a similarity between the 1983 World Cup and this World Cup. In this World Cup, see who is leading the team as a leader. As a leader, Rohit Sharma said, I will lead, I will play risky shots. He has played some great shots and great innings so far. Kapil did something similar at that time. Srikkanth further said- As a team, you need every player. Be it Rishabh Pant, Suryakumar or even Akshar Patel’s 10-12 runs. The best thing is that he (Rohit) is using his bowlers properly. He captained brilliantly against England, and brought in Axar Patel in the fourth over, and he took the big wicket of Jos Buttler. This is the same thing that Kapil Dev did. Everyone is contributing to the success of the team.
Virender Sehwag appeals to Team India to win the T20 World Cup in honor of Rahul Dravid, read the big news
India is going to face England in the second semi-final of the T20 World Cup. Rahul Dravid and Virender Sehwag (Image Credit- Twitter X) Rahul Dravid, one of the greatest cricketers of all time, has never won the Cricket World Cup. India was joint winner of the Champions Trophy 2002 with Sri Lanka, while India lost the 2003 World Cup final against Australia. Apart from this, the 2007 Cricket World Cup under Dravid’s captaincy was even more disastrous, the team was eliminated from the group stage itself. However, in 2011, the Indian team won the ICC Cricket World Cup, but Dravid could not make it to that team. So in the year 2012, he retired from cricket, but after that he was seen playing IPL for a few years. Although, he did not get much success as a player, but when he took over the coaching of India’s Under 19 team, he got a lot of success, during this time some players also made it to the senior team. After this, when he took over the coaching of India’s senior team, he did not get the same success as the Under 19 team. Under Dravid’s coaching, the Indian team reached the semi-finals in the T20 World Cup 2022. At the same time, Team India was considered a strong contender to win the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 held in India, but India had to face defeat at the hands of Australia in the final. So now Dravid’s coaching career is going to end after the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024. In such a situation, keeping this in mind, former Indian opener Virender Sehwag has requested Team India that they should win the World Cup to honor Dravid. Virender Sehwag made a special appeal to Team India Let us tell you that in a discussion with Cricbuzz before India’s second semi-final match against England in the ongoing T20 World Cup, Virender Sehwag said- We played the 2011 World Cup for Sachin Tendulkar. So this T20 World Cup can be for Rahul Dravid. At least as a coach he should get a chance to win a World Cup and be called a World Cup winner, which he did not get as a player.

USA vs ENG: Where did America go wrong in defeating big teams? Read the turning point of the match
USA vs ENG: The 49th match of T20 World Cup 2024 was played between USA and England in which England won by 10 wickets. USA vs ENG (Pic Source X) USA vs ENG: The 49th match of T20 World Cup 2024 was played between USA and England in which England won by 10 wickets. England won the toss and invited America to bat first. USA batted very poorly and were all out for 115 runs against the defending champions. At the same time, England chased the target in just 9.4 overs and won by a huge margin of 10 wickets. For England, Butler scored an unbeaten 83 off 38 balls with the help of six fours and seven sixes and Phil Salt scored 25 runs off 21 balls with the help of two fours. With this win, England have reached the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2024. Where did America go wrong? Read the turning point of the USA vs ENG match America’s batting was very poor. Nitish Kumar scored the highest 30 runs for USA and Corey Anderson scored 29 runs. At the same time, only five batsmen of America could touch the double digit mark. Let us tell you that, by the end of 14 overs, America had lost five wickets for 88 runs. Half the team had returned to the pavilion, however, they could have tried to take the scoreboard to the target of 140 runs from here. This is because a good partnership was developing between Corey Anderson and Harmeet Singh for the sixth wicket. But Sam Curran gave the 6th blow to America by dismissing Harmeet and broke the good partnership. As soon as Harmeet was out, America’s innings fell apart like a pack of cards. After that, Chris Jordan dismissed Corey Anderson, Ali Khan, Nosathush Kenjige and Saurabh Netravalkar in the 19th over. Jordan, who came to bowl the 19th over, took four wickets in five balls and bowled out the USA cheaply. He took a hat-trick against the USA in this tournament and with this he became the first bowler to take a hat-trick for England in the T20 World Cup.
